1 General
Complex timer operations and time controllers are becoming increasingly important in modern buildings with ABB i-bus® KNX. Time-controlled day or week routines e.g. of lighting installations should be implemented in buildings, factories or hotels. In schools, the lighting should e.g. be switched off at the weekend for energy reasons or the heating system should be lowered to a minimum using time control. In hotels, it should be possible to set different lighting or ventilation sequences for different events. In underground car parks for example, different time sequences should apply on different days of the week. Even year time switch programs and group formation should be implemented in continually recurring processes.
All the previously described applications can be parameterised using the Application Unit Time.
This manual provides you with detailed technical information about the Application Unit Time including its installation and programming and explains its application using examples.
The manual is divided into the following chapters:

Operating mode of clock
Options: internal/ Slave (always receive)/ Slave disable time (00:05 ... 23:55 receive)/ Master (send every minute)/ Master (send hourly)/ Master (send daily)
How does the internal clock work?
In the Application Unit Time, an internal clock controls the time switch program. The clock is supplied with bus voltage. In the event of a bus voltage failure, the internal clock has a power reserve of at least 1 h. In the event of a bus voltage recovery within the reserve period, the time switch program starts again automatically. Once the power reserve has elapsed, the current date and time are lost and the time switch program is stopped until the date and time are reset.
The clock can be set automatically through a telegram from a master clock or the clock must be set via the application program or using the parameterisation software PZM2.
The time switch program is updated by adjusting the clock. Switching operations can be triggered as a result.
Commissioning
ABZ/S 2.1 | 2CDC 509 033 D0202 37
ABB i-bus KNX
If the time switch program should start automatically after a bus failure, the clock must be operated as a slave and a group address should be assigned to the parameter Group address for request which then requests the sending of the current time by a master clock.
Once the power reserve has elapsed, a cold start is carried out in which the assigned group address is sent and the current time is requested. The internal clock is then synchronised with the master clock and the time switch program is updated and restarts.
The time switch program is updated by adjusting the clock. Switching operations can be triggered as a result.
Option: Internal
With the Internal option, it is not possible to set the date and time on the bus or to send telegrams from the bus.

Option: Slave (always receive)
The internal clock can be set or synchronised via a telegram e.g. from a master clock.
Option: Slave disable time (00:05 ... 23:55 receive)
The internal clock can be set and synchronised via a telegram e.g. from a master clock between 00:05 and 23:55. Date and time telegrams are ignored in the period between 23:55 and 00:05. It is thus possible to avoid synchronisation problems when the day changes.
Option: Master (send every minute)
The internal clock sends telegrams with the time and date once per minute e.g. to synchronise other EIB devices. The time and date can be queried via communication object no. 250 “Request object”.
If a group address has been assigned to the parameter Group address for request, the current time and date can be requested from a master clock at any time.
If the internal clock is programmed as a master, it sends telegrams with the new time and date on the bus, once the time has been set with the help of the application program.

3.4.2 Time switch program
Fig. 44: “Time switch program” screen
Method of operation
The time switch program sends telegrams with specific group addresses and values at the parameterised times. Specific functions are thus triggered in the ABB i-bus® installation such as switching the lighting in a room on or off.
To do so, day routines i.e. switching programs for specific days can be defined. A week routine with the assignment of day routines to weekdays can also be set.
In the time switch program, you can
- define 15 day routines i.e. 15 different time switch programs for the period between 00:00 and 23:59,
- assign a total of 800 switching times,
- define the week routine i.e. assign a day routine to each day of the week,
- define daylight saving times for 10 years in advance,
- assign 100 individual periods – so-called special days – which deviate from the normal week routine and
- display an overview of the time switch program.

3.4.3 Day routines - General
Fig. 45: Dialog window: “Day routines - General”
How does a day routine function?
A day routine contains the switching operations of a specific day that are to be carried out e.g. the time switch program of a day between 00:00 and 23:59.
Within a day routine, the first telegram can be sent at 00:00 and the last telegram at 23:59.
Day routines can be activated and/or deactivated by the time switch program and/or by a telegram e.g. by pressing a bus push button.
If a new day routine is activated via a telegram, the current day routine is ended i.e. the Application Unit Time sends a telegram with the group address of the current day routine with the value “0” on the bus. A telegram with the group addresses of the new day routine is then sent with the value “1” on the bus. It is therefore possible to indicate on a display for example which day routine is currently active.
The Application Unit Time then sends telegrams if necessary and establishes precisely the state in the ABB i-bus® installation which would have existed if the old day routine had run normally until midnight and the new day routine had started normally at midnight and had been executed until the current time.
If a day routine is activated and the time is put forward, the state that would have existed if the day routine had run normally until the reset time is established in the ABB i-bus® installation.
If the time is reset, no telegrams are sent.
If the time is adjusted so that a new day routine is activated, the process as described for changing the day routine is carried out.

3.4.9 Groups - General
Fig. 129: Dialog window: “Groups - General”
How does a group function?
A group means the combination of group addresses whose assigned communication objects should be influenced in the same way when an event occurs.
It is defined in the time switch program when telegrams are sent on the bus with specific group addresses and specific values.
If several telegrams with specific group addresses and specific values should be sent repeatedly at specific times, they can be combined into a so-called group e.g. the lighting in room 1, room 2 and room 3 should be switched on repeatedly at 15:00, 16:00, 17:00 and 18:30 and the blinds in room 1, room 2 and room 3 should be lowered.
The group addresses and values assigned to these functions can now be combined into a group e.g. with the name “Room 1, 2, 3”. You can therefore designate a group as a functional group and the combined group addresses as group members.
It is then only necessary to enter the group address of a trigger of this group in the time switch program e.g. with the name ”Room 1, 2, 3” in order to send telegrams on the bus with the group addresses combined in the group (group members) and values.
The group address which triggers a group is called a group trigger.
This saves time during the parameterisation and the time switch program becomes clearer.
If a group is activated, it sends telegrams with the group addresses which are contained in the list of group members and with the values which are assigned to these group addresses.
Several group addresses with different types can be combined together into a group.

Type
Options: 1 bit / 1 byte unsigned / 1 byte signed / 2 byte unsigned / 2 byte signed / 2 byte floating point
The type denotes which type of value is assigned to the trigger of a group (functional group) i.e. whether the group is triggered e.g. by a telegram with the binary value 1 or a telegram with the 1-byte value 128.
A group can be activated by a telegram with the group address of a group trigger of this group. Different types of values can be sent with a telegram e.g. 1-bit value i.e. binary values such as 0 and 1 or e.g. 1-byte values such as 0, 128 or 255, which can then be interpreted as 0%, 50% and 100%.
Trigger
The limits within which the values must lie to trigger the group are defined under Trigger for Range A and Range B. In the case of the 1-bit type, there are only the states 0 and 1. These values cannot be edited.
If a group is triggered by a group trigger, specific functions are activated e.g. switching the light on or off. The light can thereby be switched on in specific rooms e.g. by triggering a group with the value “0” and switched on in these rooms by triggering a group with the value “1”. A group can therefore behave in a different way when triggered by the value “0” than by the value “1”.
You could therefore also designate the triggering of a group by the value “1” as the activation of the group (functional group) and the triggering of the group by the value “0” as the deactivation of the group (functional group).
Binary values which trigger a group (functional group) can only adopt the values “0” and “1”. If the group is triggered e.g. by a 1-byte value, the triggered values can lie in a range between 0…255 or between 0%...100%.
Value ranges can therefore be entered for the activation of a group and for the deactivation of a group.

Range A, Range B
Range A contains those values which activate or group or those values which trigger in Range A while Range B contains those values which deactivate a group or those values which trigger in Range B.
If a group is triggered e.g. by a 2-byte value with which the room temperature of a room is transmitted, the blinds could be opened e.g. by a temperature value under 22 °C and the air conditioning and lighting could be switched off. In the event of a temperature value above 24 °C, the blinds could be closed and the lighting and air conditioning could be switched on.
So that the group is not triggered each time e.g. after the multiple transmission of the same values i.e. to activate specific functions, further criteria for triggering the group can be defined.

Condition
Options: A, B (always) / >A, >B (new entry) / A<>B (hysteresis)
The conditions for triggering a group are defined under Condition.
Option: A, B (always)
The entry A, B (always) means that the group is always triggered if the trigger value lies in Range A or Range B. If e.g. a telegram would be received several times with the same value or with values in the same range, the group would be triggered after each transmission.
If the temperature value of 21 °C is transmitted several times in succession, the group is activated each time and telegrams are thus sent each time to open the blinds and to switch off the air conditioning and lighting.
Option: >A, >B (new entry)
The entry >A, >B (new entry) means that the group is only triggered if the trigger value is located firstly in Range A or Range B. If the same value is sent several times to the Application Unit Time ABZ/S 2.1, the group is only triggered on the first transmission.
If the group was finally triggered by the transmission of a temperature value in Range A, e.g. 21 °C, then values were sent outside Range A e.g. 23 °C and then again a value in Range A such as 21 °C, the initial transmission of the value 21 °C activates the group and telegrams are sent to open the blinds and to switch off the air conditioning and lighting.

Option: A< >B (hysteresis)
The entry A< >B (hysteresis) means that the group is only triggered if the trigger value is first located in Range A and the last triggering is carried out by a value in Range B or if the trigger value is first located in Range B and the last triggering is carried out by a value in Range A.
If the group was last triggered by the transmission of a value in Range A, e.g. 21 °C (the group is thereby activated e.g. to switch on the heating) and then values outside Range A have been transferred e.g. 23 °C followed by another value in Range A such as 21 °C, the group is no longer triggered by this value. The group can only be retriggered if a value is transmitted which lies in Range B i.e. above 24 °C (the group is thereby deactivated e.g. to switch off the heating).

Cold start
Options: Bus (read value) / Init (use initial value) / none (no reaction)
The behaviour of the Application Unit Time on bus voltage recovery is defined under Cold start.
Information that is currently stored in the Application Unit Time e.g. Group 1 triggered, is stored for at least 1 h on bus voltage failure. If the bus voltage failure lasts for longer than 1 h, the Application Unit Time automatically detects whether the information is still stored or whether there has been a data loss. The application program and the parameters are permanently stored in the Application Unit Time.
In the event of a data loss, the Application Unit Time carries out a so-called cold start on bus voltage recovery i.e. it can no longer access the stored data and must either work with preset data or read relevant data from other bus devices.
It should further be noted that the time switch program does not start automatically after a cold start as the current time or date are no longer available. See also Internal clock.
It can be defined how the Application Unit Time should react in the event of a cold start.
Option: Bus (read value)
After bus voltage recovery, the Application Unit Time reads out the relevant data from other bus devices. Depending on the value received and the criteria for triggering the group, it either triggers the group in Range A or Range B or it does not trigger the group.
Option: Init (use initial value)
The Application Unit Time uses preset values after bus voltage recovery. Depending on the preset values and the criteria for triggering the group, it either triggers the group in Range A or Range B or it does not trigger the group.
What is the initial value?
If the Application Unit Time should use a preset value after a bus voltage recovery with data loss i.e. after a cold start, this value is listed under Initial value.
Option: none (no reaction)
The Application Unit Time only triggers a group if a telegram with a value in Range A or Range B has been received.
The group is always triggered in principle after a cold start on receipt of the first value which lies in Range A or Range B.

Warm start
Options: Bus (read value) / RAM (old value) / none (no reaction)
The behaviour of the Application Unit Time on bus voltage recovery is defined under Warm start.
Information that is currently stored in the Application Unit Time e.g. Group 1 triggered, is stored for at least 1 h on bus voltage failure. If the bus voltage failure lasts for longer than 1 h, the Application Unit Time automatically detects whether the information is still stored or whether there has been a data loss. The application program and the parameters are permanently stored in the Application Unit Time.
If the stored data is still available, the Application Unit Time carries out a so-called warm start on bus voltage recovery i.e. it can work with the stored data but it can also use preset data or read relevant data from other bus devices.
It can be defined how the Application Unit Time should react in the event of a warm start.
Option: Bus (read value)
After a bus voltage recovery, the Application Unit Time reads out the relevant data from other bus devices. Depending on the value received and the criteria for triggering the group, it either triggers the group in Range A or Range B or it does not trigger the group.
In the event of a warm start, a group e.g. is no longer triggered if this group was already activated in Range A and should be activated again in Range A after reading the other bus devices and the Trigger parameter is no longer set to A, B (always).
Option: RAM (old value)
After a bus voltage recovery, the Application Unit Time uses the stored values. Depending on the stored values i.e. the state prior to the bus voltage failure and the criteria for triggering the group, it either triggers the group in Range A or Range B or it does not trigger the group.
Option: none (no reaction)
The Application Unit Time only triggers a group if a telegram with a value in Range A or Range B has been received.
The group is always triggered in principle after a cold start on receipt of the first value which lies in Range A or Range B.
In the event of a warm start, the group is only triggered if all other criteria have been met e.g. the last value received prior to the bus failure was in Range B and the first value received after bus voltage recovery is in Range A.

Type
Options: 1 bit / 1 byte unsigned / 1 byte signed / 2 byte unsigned / 2 byte signed / 2 byte floating point
The type denotes which type of value is assigned to the trigger of a group (functional group) i.e. whether the group is triggered e.g. by a telegram with the binary value 1 or a telegram with the 1-byte value 128.
A group can be activated by a telegram with the group address of a group trigger of this group. Different types of values can be sent with a telegram e.g. 1-bit value i.e. binary values such as 0 and 1 or e.g. 1-byte values such as 0, 128 or 255, which can then be interpreted as 0%, 50% and 100%.
Trigger
The limits within which the values must lie to trigger the group are defined under Trigger for Range A and Range B. In the case of the 1-bit type, there are only the states 0 and 1. These values cannot be edited.
If a group is triggered by a group trigger, specific functions are activated e.g. switching the light on or off. The light can thereby be switched on in specific rooms e.g. by triggering a group with the value “0” and switched on in these rooms by triggering a group with the value “1”. A group can therefore behave in a different way when triggered by the value “0” than by the value “1”.
You could therefore also designate the triggering of a group by the value “1” as the activation of the group (functional group) and the triggering of the group by the value “0” as the deactivation of the group (functional group).
Binary values which trigger a group (functional group) can only adopt the values “0” and “1”. If the group is triggered e.g. by a 1-byte value, the triggered values can lie in a range between 0…255 or between 0%...100%.
Value ranges can therefore be entered for the activation of a group and for the deactivation of a group.

Range A, Range B
Range A contains those values which activate or group or those values which trigger in Range A while Range B contains those values which deactivate a group or those values which trigger in Range B.
If a group is triggered e.g. by a 2-byte value with which the room temperature of a room is transmitted, the blinds could be opened e.g. by a temperature value under 22 °C and the air conditioning and lighting could be switched off. In the event of a temperature value above 24 °C, the blinds could be closed and the lighting and air conditioning could be switched on.
So that the group is not triggered each time e.g. after the multiple transmission of the same values i.e. to activate specific functions, further criteria for triggering the group can be defined.

Condition
Options: A, B (always) / >A, >B (new entry) / A<>B (hysteresis)
The conditions for triggering a group are defined under Condition.
Option: A, B (always)
The entry A, B (always) means that the group is always triggered if the trigger value lies in the range A or B. If e.g. a telegram would be received several times with the same value or with values in the same range, the group would be triggered after each transmission.
If the temperature value of 21 °C is transmitted several times in succession, the group is activated each time and telegrams are thus sent each time to open the blinds and to switch off the air conditioning and lighting.
Option: >A, >B (new entry)
The entry >A, >B (new entry) means that the group is only triggered if the trigger value is located firstly in Range A or Range B. If the same value is sent several times to the Application Unit Time ABZ/S 2.1, the group is only triggered on the first transmission.
If the group was finally triggered by the transmission of a temperature value in Range A, e.g. 21 °C, then values were sent outside Range A e.g. 23 °C and then again a value in Range A such as 21 °C, the initial transmission of the value 21 °C activates the group and telegrams are sent to open the blinds and to switch off the air conditioning and lighting.

If the group was last triggered by the transmission of a value in Range A, e.g. 21 °C (the group is thereby activated e.g. to switch on the heating) and then values outside Range A have been transferred e.g. 23 °C followed by another value in Range A such as 21 °C, the group is no longer triggered by this value.

The type denotes which type of value is assigned to the trigger of a group (functional group) i.e. whether the group is triggered e.g. by a telegram with the binary value 1 or a telegram with the 1-byte value 128.
A group can be activated by a telegram with the group address of a group trigger of this group. Different types of values can be sent with a telegram e.g. 1-bit value i.e. binary values such as 0 and 1 or e.g. 1-byte values such as 0, 128 or 255, which can then be interpreted as 0%, 50% and 100%.

The limits within which the values must lie to trigger the group are defined under Trigger for Range A and Range B. In the case of the 1-bit type, there are only the states 0 and 1. These values cannot be edited.
If a group is triggered by a group trigger, specific functions are activated e.g. switching the light on or off.

Condition
Options: A, B (always) / >A, >B (new entry) / A<>B (hysteresis)
The conditions for triggering a group are defined under Condition.
Option: A, B (always)
The entry A, B (always) means that the group is always triggered if the trigger value lies in the range A or B. If e.g. a telegram would be received several times with the same value or with values in the same range, the group would be triggered after each transmission.
If the temperature value of 21 °C is transmitted several times in succession, the group is activated each time and telegrams are thus sent each time to open the blinds and to switch off the air conditioning and lighting.
Option: >A, >B (new entry)
The entry >A, >B (new entry) means that the group is only triggered if the trigger value is located firstly in Range A or Range B. If the same value is sent several times to the Application Unit Time ABZ/S 2.1, the group is only triggered on the first transmission.
If the group was finally triggered by the transmission of a temperature value in Range A, e.g. 21 °C, then values were sent outside Range A e.g. 23 °C and then again a value in Range A such as 21 °C, the initial transmission of the value 21 °C activates the group and telegrams are sent to open the blinds and to switch off the air conditioning and lighting.

ABZ/S 2.1 | 2CDC 509 033 D0202 170

Option: A< >B (hysteresis)
The entry A< >B (hysteresis) means that the group is only triggered if the trigger value is first located in Range A and the last triggering is carried out by a value in Range B or if the trigger value is first located in Range B and the last triggering is carried out by a value in Range A.
If the group was last triggered by the transmission of a value in Range A, e.g. 21 °C (the group is thereby activated e.g. to switch on the heating) and then values outside Range A have been transferred e.g. 23 °C followed by another value in Range A such as 21 °C, the group is no longer triggered by this value. The group can only be retriggered if a value is transmitted which lies in Range B i.e. above 24 °C (the group is thereby deactivated e.g. to switch off the heating).

Cold start
Options: Bus (read value) / Init (use initial value) / none (no reaction)
The behaviour of the Application Unit Time on bus voltage recovery is defined under Cold start.
Information that is currently stored in the Application Unit Time e.g. Group 1 triggered, is stored for at least 1 h on bus voltage failure. If the bus voltage failure lasts for longer than 1 h, the Application Unit Time automatically detects whether the information is still stored or whether there has been a data loss. The application program and the parameters are permanently stored in the Application Unit Time.
In the event of a data loss, the Application Unit Time carries out a so-called cold start on bus voltage recovery i.e. it can no longer access the stored data and must either work with preset data or read relevant data from other bus devices.
It should further be noted that the time switch program does not start automatically after a cold start as the current time or date are no longer available. See also Internal clock.
It can be defined how the Application Unit Time should react in the event of a cold start.
Option: Bus (read value)
After bus voltage recovery, the Application Unit Time reads out the relevant data from other bus devices. Depending on the value received and the criteria for triggering the group, it either triggers the group in Range A or Range B or it does not trigger the group.
Option: Init (use initial value)
The Application Unit Time uses preset values after bus voltage recovery. Depending on the preset values and the criteria for triggering the group, it either triggers the group in Range A or Range B or it does not trigger the group.
What is the initial value?
If the Application Unit Time should use a preset value after a bus voltage recovery with data loss i.e. after a cold start, this value is listed under Initial value.
Option: none (no reaction)
The Application Unit Time only triggers a group if a telegram with a value in Range A or Range B has been received.
The group is always triggered in principle after a cold start on receipt of the first value which lies in Range A or Range B.

Warm start
Options: Bus (read value) / RAM (old value) / none (no reaction)
The behaviour of the Application Unit Time on bus voltage recovery is defined under Warm start.
Information that is currently stored in the Application Unit Time e.g. Group 1 triggered, is stored for at least 1 h on bus voltage failure. If the bus voltage failure lasts for longer than 1 h, the Application Unit Time automatically detects whether the information is still stored or whether there has been a data loss. The application program and the parameters are permanently stored in the Application Unit Time.
If the stored data is still available, the Application Unit Time carries out a so-called warm start on bus voltage recovery i.e. it can work with the stored data but it can also use preset data or read relevant data from other bus devices.
It can be defined how the Application Unit Time should react in the event of a warm start.
Option: Bus (read value)
After a bus voltage recovery, the Application Unit Time reads out the relevant data from other bus devices. Depending on the value received and the criteria for triggering the group, it either triggers the group in Range A or Range B or it does not trigger the group.
In the event of a warm start, a group e.g. is no longer triggered if this group was already activated in Range A and should be activated again in Range A after reading the other bus devices and the Trigger parameter is no longer set to A, B (always).
Option: RAM (old value)
After a bus voltage recovery, the Application Unit Time uses the stored values. Depending on the stored values i.e. the state prior to the bus voltage failure and the criteria for triggering the group, it either triggers the group in Range A or Range B or it does not trigger the group.
Option: none (no reaction)
The Application Unit Time only triggers a group if a telegram with a value in Range A or Range B has been received.
The group is always triggered in principle after a cold start on receipt of the first value which lies in Range A or Range B.
In the event of a warm start, the group is only triggered if all other criteria have been met e.g. the last value received prior to the bus failure was in Range B and the first value received after bus voltage recovery is in Range A.

3.4.10 Group trigger - General
Fig. 160: Dialog window: “Group trigger - General”
The created triggers are shown in the folder Groups, 01: Beginning of instruction and Trigger.
Group triggers trigger a group if
- the Application Unit Time receives a telegram whose group address has been entered in the list of group triggers
- its value lies in the ranges which have been defined for triggering a group and
- its value meets the criteria for triggering a group.
When triggering a group through the time switch program of the Application Unit Time, the time switch program sends a telegram with a group address which is simultaneously received by the Application Unit Time and thus triggers the group.

The priority object has enabled e.g. the switch actuator. The output switches depending on the value of the switch object.
1 0 OFF The priority object has switched e.g. the switch actuator OFF with priority control. The switch object has no function.
1 1 ON The priority object has switched e.g. the switch actuator ON with priority control. The switch object has no function.

Note: 4 different values can be sent with the telegram. So-called priority objects can thus be addressed in the EIB devices. If a channel e.g. in a switch actuator should switch on or off, the value 1 or 0 is sent to the assigned switch object. If a priority object is also assigned to this channel, the value that was sent to the priority object defines the behaviour of the channel.

4 Planning and application
This section contains some practical tips for using the Application Unit Time.
4.1 Context-sensitive “Help” file
The context-sensitive “Help” file gives you the necessary information for each step when parameterising the application program Times Groups/2.
The context-sensitive “Help” file is retrieved in the following way:
- press the Help button in the dialog window,
- press the right mouse button in the table area to select Help,
- press F1 on the keyboard or
- press the Help button on the toolbar.
The best way of working with the application program and the “Help” file is to proceed as follows:
First start ETS3 and open the project which you wish to edit. Minimise the main ETS3 window and move it to the top right-hand corner.
After starting the application program, minimise the window and move it to the right edge of the screen so that about a third of the screen width remains free. Now retrieve the “Help” file and minimise and position the window in the free area on the left-hand edge of the screen.
You can now see the relevant “Help” page for each step on the left-hand side if you retrieve the context-sensitive “Help” file to obtain information. You can receive further explanations about the green, underlined terms by clicking on them. You return to the previous “Help” page via the “Back” button.

4.2 Behaviour on bus voltage failure
In the event of a bus voltage failure, the Application Unit Time stores the communication object values of the inputs and outputs for at least 1 h. If the bus voltage failure lasts considerably longer, the stored communication object values are lost.
Secure states after a bus voltage failure can be achieved by selecting the parameter setting “Behaviour after bus voltage recovery”.
4.3 Behaviour after bus voltage recovery
To prevent an unwanted operational response after a bus voltage failure, particular in larger installations, the installation of an uninterruptible power supply is provided for the bus voltage and the scanning voltage of the contacts.
